this is such a great book. KIDS RULE THE WORLD!!!!

This is a really good book!

I received this book from DOGO as part of Summer Reading, so Thank you DOGO! I hope I wrote a good review of this book! So many kids think that they can't change the world, that they are too young. Well, they are wrong because all these kids, from even as young as 10 years old can become a change for the better of this world. A young girl, Autumn Peltier stood up for her hometown's clean water rights at a super young age! Martin Luther played tricks on his poor piano teacher and took after his dad in standing up for what's right. Malala went as far as being shot in the head, and still, she stood up for girls' education even now. If you want to be inspired and know you can change the world, read this book, Kid Activists. It will show you that kids can make a difference, so if you have something you can stand up for, go for it! I loved this book so much, and I'll bet you will too! I give this book a five-star!

Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr. played pranks on his piano teacher when he was a child? Have you ever heard of Autumn Peltier, who became an activist for water at age ten? If you’re already excited to read this book, Kid Activists is for you! You will definitely find out cool facts about some of the most amazing rebels of all time, from Malala Yousafzai to Alexander Hamilton. Get ready to read—get ready to meet amazing people in Kid Activists!
